KANBAN simulator DEMO

About KANBAN simulator DEMO Android App

If you are proffesional or student of Lean Manufacturing, you already know what KANBAN is. This simulator can simulate in realtime the flow of one upstream process, and up to three paralel downstream processes connected through Supermarket and KANBAN cards.

This is specialized application suitable for one sole purpose. But even if you have only vague understanding of KANBAN, you can learn how does it works from watching the simulation.

You can run any setup as it is possible to adjust most of parameters:

Upstream process:
- cycle time for making each of three parts
- changeover time needed to change the process to produce another part

Supermarket:
- amount of inventory in packages of each part
- amount of parts in one package

Downstream processes:
- cycle time of using parts

This DEMO version if fully functional except limitation of maximum simulation time - 60 seconds.
It is enough to see how KANBAN works,but if you consider to compare several setups, please use full version and run the simulation signifficantly longer time. The calcualtions of process utilization become stable after longer run also.

Thank you
